kate spade jumps on the bridal train!

I posted this photo a few weeks ago from nordstrom.com. It is one of the first peeks at the new "Bells and Whistles " bridal collection from kate spade new york. So many of our favorite brands have launched bridal collections lately, kate spade is following the trend beautifully. They will focus on the events leading up to and after the wedding like rehearsal dinner, showers, going-away outfits and (of course) the honeymoon. There will also be some wonderful bridal jewelry and more of the ever popular bridal footwear. I hope formal wedding dresses will follow! All this goes hand in hand with the new home collection that is launching in April and some of the beautiful stationary items such as wedding invitations that have been released and others coming soon. A new bride needs lots of items for her new home and kate spade is ready to deliver the "kate spade lifestyle" from top to bottom!

Last year, I stumbled upon a picasa album for a kate spade employee where there were lots of pictures of an exploratory trip for a bridal collection. She had tried on lots of dresses doing "research" for the new collection. It was really cool to see behind the scenes of the creative process like that. I guess at the time she didn't realize that flickr was public but those photos are no longer accessible. I figured it would only be a little while until we saw a bridal collection from kate spade ny after that. I almost wish I were getting married again but, I wouldn't give up my current hubby for nothin! Not even a kate spade wedding. After 20 years of training, he is a keeper!
